More than a hundred years ago, a French physiologist stated that high frequency and high voltage electric current is able to treat the skin from certain diseases and  even have a rejuvenating effect. In honor of him, the procedure with pulsed currents & nbsp; high voltage, used in dermatology, called darsonvalization. Impact  on the skin by Darsonval currents is carried out due to electrical impulses that cause ultrasonic vibrations, weak mechanical vibrations, and heat generation. Darsonvalization has found wide application in trichology and dermatology. Estet-portal. com invites you to consider the specifics of using this technique.

Features of the effect on the patient's skin during darsonvalization

Under the action of electrical impulses transmitted to the skin from the electrodes, the following phenomena occur  in leather:

  • production of nitric oxide in cells, which has a bactericidal effect;
  • increasing the sensitivity threshold of skin receptors, thereby reducing itching;
  • ultrasonic vibrations have a draining effect on the sebaceous and sweat glands;
  • improves lymph flow  and tissue swelling decreases;
  • capillaries expand and blood flow improves;
  • metabolic processes in skin cells are activated.

The therapeutic effect of darsonvalization is in the anti-inflammatory and antipruritic effects on the skin, in the provision of vasoactive, analgesic, trophic effects. The procedure is most often used to solve problems of the scalp, face, neck.

Skin problems that darsonvalization can solve

Thanks to a wide range of forms of exposure to the skin, darsonvalization helps to solve many problems:

  • oily seborrhea, acne, pustular rash – bactericidal anti-inflammatory effect;
  • cellulite, edema, vascular skin defects – vasoactive effect;
  • Strengthening skin turgor, preventing hair loss, eliminating skin flabbiness and fine wrinkles – trophic impact;
  • elimination of skin itching, pain in some dermatological diseases – analgesic action.

Darsonvalization is recommended after cosmetic facial cleansing, as part of the treatment of the scalp with certain types of alopecia.

How is darsonvalization performed and to whom it is not recommended

The procedure requires preliminary thorough cleansing of the skin surface in the area to be treated. The doctor chooses the electrodes of the proper shape and sets the necessary mode of exposure to the skin. During the darsonvalization procedure, you should not touch the patient's skin with your hands, and also make sure that the patient does not touch any metal objects. It is necessary to carefully monitor the patient's sensations: if he complains that a pleasant tingling and warmth have been replaced by unpleasant sensations and the electrodes cause heat, the procedure should be stopped immediately.

Darsonvalization should not be performed on patients with severe rosacea or hirsutism. Contraindications to the procedure are arrhythmia, thrombophlebitis, feverish conditions. The patient must be asked about the probable pregnancy and the presence of a pacemaker – this is also a contraindication to darsonvalization.
